I really like your texturing on your second pic, but the lighting in your screenshot seems a little... dramatic? I dunno, it seems that the clay texture gets lost a little in the shading. Anyway this looks really interesting, I look forward to playing it :D

I agree with this. Clay is quite matte in color. Both the shadows and the highlights need to be toned down. Other than that it looks great! As for the knight, the helmet kind of feels out of place. I like the rest of it, but maybe the knight could have a bit more of a Spartan-ish helmet?

I agree with the 2 points mentionned above. The final rendering (the one in realtime) is too noisy, with too much contrast, that tends to make the image less readable. I had hard time to control the SSAO, I need to minor it maybe, I'll try that. Regarding the helmet, well, I initially aimed at a Spartan look, but as I wanted to get a working model asap (even a placeholder), it ended up in that sort of templar-ish helmet  Besides, Spartan stuff is a bit of a cliché, nowadays  But I'll give it a try, once again, as soon as I get the GAME working (moving). Thanks for all the positive & constructive critics !

Here's a quick animation test of the Knight (draft model), with a walk cycle I borrowed in my old mocap files  The model needs modification, the animation is not perfect, but it sort of work. I just need to get this working in the engine, now   Enjoy

Looking good, though yeah, you need to iron out that jerky movement there.

Quick WIP.I finally decided myself regarding the gameplay question. The game will be a straight clone of . I'm finishing the assets and starting to setup a quick level, so that I can start to code that thing. A real & skilled cg animator should join in, hence the knight animation will look way better than my first tries  I'll keep you posted.

Ahah, it's official, then, Melly : u're cracked  But thanks for the kind words !  A small update, tonight I quickly made a title screen. I shouldn't work on this before the gameply is done, but I couldn't resist ...  Oh, and I changed the title ... Not sure about this one, but ... "MetroCross -> Medieval -> MedieCross -> MediéCross"... Just let me know your opinion, people

That's a sexy title screen, though maybe you should lift the title shadow to keep it visible?

Update : early gameplay elements ...   The basic jump is implemented, I need to add : - bumpers - collision with the barrel - holes/traps - carpets that slow down the player - various weapons thrown from outside the screen ?

Alright, played it. Ran fine here, pretty smooth and no nasty bugs. Looks amazing. I had this though:  Is the title supposed to do that?

It does that to me as well. Ran just fine on my end, solid framerate, no apparent glitches or bugs. I guess you had those things on the player for debug purposes? http://imgur.com/gm979

Thanks Melly & Allen for the feedback.  Actually, there IS something wrong with the title screen, you're right. Glad to hear, though, that the game is running smoothly !
